Novatel Wireless, Inc., (Nasdaq:NVTL), today unveiled MiFi(TM),
an unprecedented line of Intelligent Mobile Hotspots. Together with a
rich applications environment for enterprises and consumers, MiFi drives
a new ecosystem of broadband connectivity. Unlike existing router
solutions that require an external broadband modem and serve only to
provide connectivity, the MiFi line creates a personal cloud of
high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between
multiple users and Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, cameras, gaming
devices and multimedia players. The MiFi products serve as an
intelligent, open platform capable of hosting advanced software
applications and flexible enough to address the continued evolution of
mobile broadband.

"With the pocket-sized MiFi device, Novatel Wireless has invented a new
category of mobile broadband solutions, pushing the envelope in design
and performance and ushering in the next era of the mobile broadband
experience," said Peter Leparulo, chairman and CEO of Novatel Wireless.
"Our carrier partners will now be able to provide new wireless solutions
and bundles for consumer and enterprise users. This will contribute to
the continued growth of the addressable broadband market and create a
unique opportunity for carriers to generate additional revenue per user
through the deployment of innovative value-add applications and
services."

"Mobile Broadband is evolving and with the large number of Wi-Fi enabled
electronic devices coming to market, there is a growing consumer need
for Internet-ready devices and applications to stay connected while on
the go," said Christopher Collins, senior analyst with The Yankee Group
Research, Inc.

Next Generation in Mobile Broadband Connectivity

MiFi represents the industry's first Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, a new
category of mobile broadband that lets users put their world of content,
services and connectivity in their pocket. Featuring an internal battery
providing over forty hours standby and up to four hours of active use on
a single charge, the MiFi product line enables users to access
high-speed Internet from anywhere there is a cellular connection,
including moving vehicles where multiple passengers may need Internet
access.

Rich Applications Environment

The MiFi product line will offer enterprises, SMB and SOHO users a
unique solution to secure, control and manage wireless connections.
Certain MiFi configurations support applications such as auto VPN,
automatic syncing of email and optional remote management capabilities
for the enterprise IT manager. MiFi offers a robust platform capable of
hosting third party applications that extend the reach and control of
the enterprise when dealing with remote mobile assets.

With MiFi, consumers can consolidate and personalize their mobile
Internet services through a convenient landing page whether they are at
home, in the car or on the go. For the wireless operator, the MiFi
landing page provides a window to the user to offer additional content
and services. MiFi will continue to evolve in order to support
applications and services for individuals and families leading a mobile
lifestyle.

Unprecedented Ease of Use

Novatel Wireless has applied its expertise in human interface
engineering to make MiFi the easiest to use broadband device ever. Users
are one-click away from their personalized content and services, with no
need for installing host applications or hardware drivers as part of the
installation process.

Pricing and Availability

The MiFi line of Intelligent Mobile Hotspots will be commercially
available in 1H09 through a variety of Novatel Wireless' global tier-one
operator customers and retail channels.
